Join Cindy Sheehan in Pittsburgh Today!

On Wednesday, August 30, 2005, the last day of the anti-war encampment started by Cindy Sheehan in Crawford, Texas, the Bring Them Home Now Tour launched three buses of military and Gold Star families, veterans of the Iraq War, and veterans of previous wars. These buses will travel different routes across the country, including a stop in Pittsburgh on September 11th-13th, before converging in Washington, DC for the United for Peace and Justice March on September 24th.

At Flagstaff, there will be a re-creation of Camp Casey, named Camp Neil, in honor of 1st. Lt. Neil Anthony Santoriello, Jr., of Pittsburgh, who died in Iraq at age 24. Lt. Santoriello’s mother, Diane Davis Santoriello, will be present along with other members of Goldstar Families for Peace, as well as Military Families Speak Out, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Veterans for Peace. You are invited to join us to Speak Out about the horrors of the Iraqi war, and to have a pot-luck picnic dinner before the march. There will be live music and other entertainment as well.

Please join the encampment by bringing food for the potluck-style picnic, candles for the vigil & march, or even join the tour as part of a caravan to D.C!
